Under the same sky
Under the same sky is a unique development education project where pupils from schools in Denmark and Kenya have committed themselves and are the primary agents of change, dissemination of knowledge through modern technology. The main tools are computers, the web, cameras and mobile phones and this educational website is the meeting place, where the Danish and Kenyan students present their essays and exchange new with each other.
Children are the future, and in this project teenagers will take upon themselves roles as agents of their local environment, and in this manner develop a global perspective on local and international environmental problems and climate change issues. The pupils use tools such as computers, the Web, cameras and mobile phones when documenting and communicating about their local environmental problems.
The project partners are 4 primary schools based in Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya and 10 Danish primary schools. The main focus of Under the same sky is the School to School Contact. The school project runs through 2014 and involves the same classes through the four years. The prolonged School to School Contact will create long lasting impressions in the pupils, and raising their awareness concerning climate and environment on a deeper personal level.
Under the same sky is a project in cooperation between Development Education Center, O3V, the Organisation for Sustainable Energy, OVE, Kenya Organisation for Environmental Education, KOEE and the schools.

O3V
The Development education centre (Oplysningscenter om den 3. verden – O3V) was founded in 1989. O3V produces educational activities in Danish schools on global issues in cooperation with local and national NGOs. O3V is the only Danish organisation specialised in “the living word” in connection to development education. We encourage Danish schools to engage mediators from the third world to teach children about foreign cultures and global issues in general.
O3V is a resource centre based in Århus, Denmark. We have a specialist library of development education materials, books, audiovisual materials, periodicals etc. and we produce our own development education materials and theme boxes with artefacts from third world countries.
We are cooperating with other NGOs on various projects, and sometimes they seek advice and information regarding children, school, learning, and pedagogy from us.
